So, mine are destroyed. This may be a NOOB question, but are they really necessary/functional enough to source and replace or has anyone gone without them? I couldn't find any relevant info using the search here - TIA friends!
Sadly I won't notice the sound difference because of the Cummins swap - the biggest weight change is in the front, but in the rear I do have HD springs but only carry about 250lbs of gear in the rear regularly, and that's with the 3rd row of seats out so it shouldn't be over loaded in the rear...
I am replacing the driver's side rear axle outer oil seal today - looking at the axle shaft itself where the bearings ride, does this seem normal to have such a deep groove or do I have a problem I am unaware of? Bearing itself seems to be visually in great shape and in working order as I spin...
Jon, with the headlights in the off position, what if the dim headlights come on when pulling the stalk back? Not the high beams. Is that normal?
The brights have never worked since I bought the truck but the odd thing is that the blue symbol only comes on when the stalk is forward if I have...
Would you want to make that call tomorrow? Since I can only contribute one to the order you might have better luck negotiating with whatever you know you're willing to add 👍 .
Is anyone else planning to have their main shaft modified by Dutchmen Motorsports in Idaho soon? I need to get mine done asap I'm planning to call them tomorrow - maybe we can get a better price with multiple works orders? Cheers to all the swaps getting it done!
Push Button/Momentary Starter Switch as a backup to my intermittent no-crank NSS issue I haven't resolved yet >:-/ or to show off cause it's pretty cool to have a push button start 80. (Like the old cars, not the new ones ;-) )

replaced the bad heater core and hooked all the hoses in the engine bay back up for heat as Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are over 14K feet so yeah gets cold on the upper trails...and hard wired in the 400W inverter in the middle console while i had it all apart. I guess i need to find the right...
Update: Factory air box, throttle body and intake manifold all replaced via a running 3FE LC i bought for parts for VERY cheap...swapped a LOT of parts and odds and ends but I now have a complete factory 3FE, with plenty of temporary and some semi-permanent red duct tape repairs, that runs...
Finally got some wifi so I just uploaded the video I took after she fired up this morn on the 2nd try, much easier than before I must say. Idle is high and you'll clearly hear and see the bogging I've been describing. Thanks for watching guys! Look forward to the feedback and laughter about the...
So this morning she fired up after a few cycles, easier than before the new relays. (I still dont understand the intermittent turning over...I am going to have the ignition timing checked professionally asap.)
She ran decently steady once going tho! Nearly every time I've done anything under...
Thanks 89GASHOG, the MAF seems to be an issue for sure. I am hunting down a stock airbox now as this one is ridiculous if i can post the pics you'll all laugh I'm sure. I am on the west side in Kona unfortunately but I'll look Kelly and his shop up soon!
